Joey Iosefa NFL Draft 2015: Scouting Report for Buccaneers' Rookie

A between-the-tackles runner with a full head of steam and impressive play power, Joey Iosefa can make noise pushing the pile. A powerful runner with good ability to break tackles, Iosefa has value in short-yardage situations as a runner, blocker and receiver. He has soft, huge hands (10 ¼”) and brings the ball in well coming out of the backfield. He’s a downhill runner and receiver who offers upside on special teams.

WEAKNESSES

A big player with limited agility and speed, Iosefa doesn’t have the juice to reach athletic linebackers in space. He doesn’t explode into his blocks and likes to play with extended arms instead of ramming into defenders.
